Then I started to play with sprays and water until I was happy with the colors.

I smeared the die cut pieces with Nuvo mousse and stamped randomly TH Grunge Scroll stamp with Black Jet Archival. I covered the walls with Distress Glaze to secure the surface and to give a vibrancy to the colors.

I adhered all the walls to my base and left it aside.

I sprayed a piece of watercolor paper with lots of vibrant sprays

and then cut out butterflies and wildflowers.

The butterflies were placed on strips of acetate and adhered to the base.

I added wildflowers to give more gardening look and fulfil the inside.

Here are some close-ups of my exploding box.

I really love the effect and I hope it inspires you to join us this week!

This is SO cool, Macarena! I love the contrast between the deep brown and muted walls, and the amazing explosion of color!! There is so much to look at here and enjoy, wonderful project!! I am also wishing for Spring, I hope it arrives soon for both of us! hugs, Maura

Wow, wow, wow! This is one of your most incredible projects yet! I love how you've combined the dusty browns with the vibrant pops of color. The structure of the box is so clever and I love how each panel is unique and a stand-alone piece of art! Job well done!!
